His remarks came as world leaders prepared for a UN climate summit focused on accelerating the shift to “clean energy”.
Speaking for several minutes on the subject in his near-hour-long speech, Trump attacked the European Union for prioritising emissions cuts, claiming its economies were suffering as a result, and warned other nations heavily invested in renewables that they were sabotaging their own prosperity.
“All of these predictions made by the United Nations and many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong,” he declared, adding that they were made by “stupid people that have cost their country’s fortunes.”
Trump’s administration has repeatedly withdrawn the United States from the Paris Agreement and doubled down on what he calls an “energy dominance” agenda—expanding production of oil, gas, coal and nuclear power while sidelining renewable energy.
“We have the most oil of any nation anywhere, oil and gas in the world, and if you add coal, we have the most of any nation in the world,” Trump said.
His remarks drew sharp contrast with UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who has urged nations to accelerate a global transition away from fossil fuels.

He is correct. It is impoverishing countries by de-industrialisation. Power bills going up that cause inflation Look at Germany, oh and New Zealand. You will be poor and happy
Trump denounces the Climate con artists from the very home that invented this nonsense. How gloriously refreshing and what a shock to those that have fallen for this con. The rubbish we kiwis have had to endure is criminal. Carbon Tax, pine trees, windmills and solar panels gobbling up valuable farmland, even a dedicated climate change ministry, net zero nonsense and the destructive Paris Climate Accord, all designed to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.
When will the penny drop? And who will lead the challenge?
Climate change is a scam. If the average human looked at the facts across the globe of who, where, what and how of the climate change narrative and stopped listening to the politicians and 'climate' scientists they too would see the folly in the fallacy......
Sadly humans trust politicians (et al) like sheep trust the wolf in sheeps cloth. The UN and the WEF both contradict and conflate narratives at the same time....a premium example as simple as it comes is the fact they tell you specifically not to use fossil fuel flying to Fiji for a holiday while they chop down the Amazon, create a four lane tar-sealed highway so they can travel to COP30 in comfort after flying into the airport in their private craft.
Last year at COP29 they did not build a highway they helicoptered from the airport to the venue.....
In 50 years none of the so, so many predicted climate disasters has come true in any shape or form......are we done yet?
We are merely recently evolved passengers on a speck of dust that's been hurtling through the universe for about 5 billion years.
Through those eons there have been a multitude cataclysm and extinction events caused by massive shifts in global climate, endogenetic forces and cosmic phenomena.
None of which the life forms that were present at the time had any control.
And now we are told and expected to try and control "the global thermostat" a degree or two? because someone feels "uncomfortable"? Of course, which part of "the room" will feel that effect first is never mentioned.
Expected also is to hold in your farts (even through the push to eat more beans) and eventually go back to wandering the plains hunting and gathering because apparently that's now considered progress.
Yeah nah...it's a con.
Blistering rebuke? I saw nothing in Trump’s speech to the UN that could be taken seriously, including climate change. It was just a 57-minute ramble of insults, falsehoods, denigrations, and nonsensical boasts. The United Nations has not seen anything like it.
A former State Department spokesperson and deputy U.S. ambassador to the UN, Ned Price, for instance, had nothing but ridicule of it, saying, “Let’s not pretend this is a foreign policy speech or dignify it by calling it one. This is basically MAGA madlibs, Trump is speaking to his political base, hitting each of his campaign trail hits, while addressing a room of leaders who’d rather be elsewhere”.
If Trump really believes that climate change is not happening, can’t he articulate that with more considered and authoritative language? Well, no. The fact is that Trump doesn’t understand the effect that modern man is having globally on the environment and its influence on future life on the planet. And obviously, he couldn’t care less.
Isn't it fascinating how people on the left are so easily convinced of the most outrageous concepts.
Humans being responsible for climate change as a popular example. People choosing their gender being another.
Donald Trump's style is certainly polarizing, but right on point.
